If a power cell is damaged from a explosion there should be a visual tell that its damage and a way to repair it.

I don't mind plasma sabotage, but dying because you did not know of a obscure feature with no warning is shitty.

Besides the point that its a trap, applied onto the plasma batteries and anything else it touches.

I don't remember if there is anything you can examine on a battery to find out either. Players don't tend to examine things anyway. But besides that, yeah I feel you but that's pretty much the game entirely and the response is always GITGUD no matter how frustrating and one off the adversity was. Technically clone damage falls under this but it's only because it has frequent exposure or at least a practiced solution (cryo) that it isn't a real problem. The battery thing just never comes up (and we don't even know if you died because of it or malicious intent) and that either makes it an interesting feature or a frustration causing crap one.

How exactly do you do special moves with martial arts? Do you just have to switch between intents or do you have to also use them on something or someone?

use each intent in order on your victim.
For example, if you have plasma fist:
HARM, DISARM, DISARM, DISARM, HARM on the same person will gib them instantly.

It's not related to electrodes, it's all click-related actions. The default game FPS is 20 and input (afaik) is tied to client side FPS. This would mean that holding down a movement key is 'using frames' and blocking the click action so you are only firing when your click is timed on a frame that isn't being 'used'.

tl;dr it's because of the game's low framerate. If you go into game preferences and increase the framerate to like 40, 60 or 100 it will register your clicks much better. The trade off is that higher FPS's are kinda janky.

• Gas Pump - Bog-standard pump. Great for precise levels and can pump up to a maximum pressure of 4500 kPA. Doesn't handle high pressures well and is slower than the other pump.
• Volume Pump - Like its name suggests, pumps via volume rather than going for pressure with its maximum output of 200l/s being equivalent to 9000kPA. A volume pump is great for anything where precision is not needed (like the waste pipes).
• Passive Gate - This isn't really a pump but most people don't understand it very well. A passive gate doesn't pump like the other examples, but rather, it only lets a certain amount of pressure through. So if you set it to 1500kPA, only that amount of pressure will be able to pass through it. You can think of it as a digital valve that only works one way. Maximum pressure of 4500 kPA.

Anonmare wrote:What's everyone's favourite SM gas mixes?

I personally use 66% N2O and 33% O2 as I've found it a good compromise between power and stability. I know there are more power efficient mixes though, there was one guy who made this complicated mix but I don't remember what the percentages were but it had CO2, plasma, O2 and N2O and he got some really incredible power outage with full room temp plasma tanks.

I remember CEs of old who would make it a project of theirs to contain a stage 4 Singularity or have a dual engine. Or a dual stage 4 engine.

what's the point of doing anything but hiding in a locker until the shuttle arrives and then getting onto an escape pod
